Meet Fea and learn her journey with Type 1 Diabetes

  • Type 1 Diabetic - April 2021 - Aged 9
  • Diagnosis: April 2021, after blacking out at home, Fea was admitted to hospital in what turned out to be severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). Fea was immediately admitted to 'Resus' (Resuscitation Room), with her blood glucose levels being high enough for the machines not able to read as well as having 6.6 ketones ( ). All whilst being very dehydrated and losing 10% of her body weight - the medical team were unable to get a successful cannula site. Until finally 3 managed to stay - her right arm, right foot and left hand.
  • The signs: 
    TOILET - I've needed to wee a lot!
    TIRED - I've been very tired!
    THIRSTY - I keep drinking and drinking!
    THIN - I've lost lots of weight!

"I'm riding towards a better future for people like me living with diabetes"
